Karl Marx quotes on value

52. Capital is money, capital is commodities. By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.

54. Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.

69. The product of mental labor - science - always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.
